Every once in awhile the BN sends us safety notices, we got one the other day about some dink taping or gluing rasor blades on bleed rods, on bn property. Anyone actually seen this?

You guys are just now getting that?  They warned us and posted notices all over around these parts at least a year ago.  I know a conductor who actually saw it in a large terminal east of me.

I've never seen anything like that either, but they showed us some pics from somewhere in the system where they bent some rebar and hooked it to the stirrups.  Also seen the barb wire one tu.

To be honest, I saw it awhile ago as well. It's just resurfaced


We've had crews find needles jammed underneath derails lately as well. That one scares me!!

A couple of years ago one of our car knockers found the "razor blades taped to the bleed rod" thingy...

Seems like a decent pair of gloves would defuse
these kinds of terrorism.

Our safety committee apparently doesn't think so. They had to have a person-to-person contact blitz. They are so dedicated that I'm sure it had nothing to do with the day's pay for an hour and a half on the property.

Oh yeah, they did not hand out gloves, but they had refrigerator magnets with the NSPD 800 number on them. (In case you have to ask -- the answer is NO!!!!)

What I was saying Steamer, was Yeah, we have seen that kind of terrorism up here, it's not just an urban legend. And yes, it has been a long time since I have worked the ground.

Long as it has been, it's been a whole lot longer since I worked the ground. I'm guessing there's a couple on here who could top that. Maybe. Probably
